Beautiful anime 10/10, love the art (the best of all SS series for me), The Lost Canvas has such a better narrative and I admit it, but I really worried about the characters and their dialogues, as The Lost Canvas this felt like a war, honestly the classic SS needed a true war like those ones. I know some people hate it, but it doesn't change Omega was a masterpiece. Even I can admit some time this anime can be really positive about how the characters must act in some situations, but also that's the essence in SS. So, if you want to watch an anime that let you with a lot of gains to go ahead and achieve your goals with a emotive group of characters this is for you, Subaru's construction was great, and also loved the new gold saints. Also, there's this anime doesn't has the term "Saintia" f…

Saint Seiya Omega is an alternative continuation to the original Saint Seiya anime about 15 years since the defeat of Hades, lord of the underworld.
Seiya inherited the Sagittarius Gold Cloth and the show starts off immediately with a new antagonist trying to fight Athena. Both Seiya and Mars disappear for several years until the baby Athena was alongside with grew.
Mars would return kidnapping Athena and the new protagonist's Koga has the goal to stop Mars and get Athena back.
Story
The structure of the show is almost similar to the original. Some old Saints who fought Mars had their body's corrupted and can't seriously participate in battle which include Shaina and the legendary Saints aka. the main characters from the previous series.
Mars' goal is to use Athena's power to create a new…

This is a spoiler-free review.
To begin with, I wish MAL would split the entries for Saint Seiya Omega into the 2 seasons it aired as since both seasons are quite different. TL;DR: 1st season outstanding, 2nd season first half weak, second half great, still entertaining. Art style might seem weird initially but is actually great.
The first season is an excellent, gripping story with brand new characters and an interesting new setting with mysteries being progressively resolved leading up to an epic finale. The characters, plot and setting are well introduced and elements developed over the course of the season. The differences with the previous series are all explained and a small amount of filler-y moments do not detract from a truly epic continuation that does not depend on the past an…

NOT AS BAD AS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CLAIMED IT WAS.
Saint Seiya Omega was definitely not everyone's cup of tea. It takes a while to get through to the good content and get hooked. People are simply angry that Seiya wasn't the main character again, which honestly is fine for me. Saint Seiya Omega introduces a new cast of immature teens, who across the story, grow and learn the ways of their predecessors.
Saint Seiya Omega, I would argue is easily one of the best. It is not only something new, it is something improved. Unlike in the originally Saint Seiya trilogy, there is a very clear goal for Koga, which is to return Athena and get stronger to protect her. In the original Saint Seiya, we see Seiya fight, fight, and fight, for her sister where no one knows where she is? There was no dir…

I consider myself a somewhat rare breed. an american that like Saint Seiya... some of us are out there, but it's kinda hard to find others when the VAST VAST majority of any videos related to the anime are in spanish, french or any other latin language that isn't english. this series is very big in latin america. a freind of mine often says that its almost a religion in Latin America. but i'm not here to judge them or talk about the wonderful 80s anime. im here to talk about something i never thought i would talk about....Saint Seiya; Omega. oh boy... let's do it.
The Story; 5/10
Omega is a continuation of the 80s story if i recall correctly. Seiya (who is now the Sagittarius saint) leaves his legacy to the next generation of Saint who the show now focuses on. im okay with that, to see th…

So Saint Seiya Omega, the non-canon sequel to saint seiya
I will judge this compared to the original Saint Seiya series, and will include little to no spoilers, enjoy:
Story: the story has 2 sagas each with their own main enemy and with separate arks inside each saga. Unlike the original saint seiya anime this anime has more characters that are actually developed and we get more insight on them, it isn't just gold saints and main cast. the story actually has turns that you don't see coming at first or has some minor characters that have some deeper feelings and thoughts. I wish i could talk more about the plot but it would have to include spoilers
Art: The anime generally looks good, far from revolutionary but always good enough to watch it, even when paused. the animation has sakuga i…

Saint Seiya: Omega is a dumpster fire. While not being as bad as Saintia Shō or Soul of Gold, Omega still makes the running for one of the worst series in the franchise. *Yoshiko Umakoshi’s character designs & *Make-Up’s catchy rock ballad rendition of ‘Pegasus Fantasy’ lure old fans into the fray, but fanatics of the original are left with nothing but cardboard remnants of the past. There will be spoilers in this review! You have been warned!
*Yoshiko Umakoshi is most famous for his character designs in Casshern Sins and HeartCatch PreCure! Make-Up’s cover of ‘Pegasus Fantasy’ features Shōko Nakagawa as the vocalist, she is known for singing the opening of Gurren Lagann.
• Omega’s cast in a nutshell:
—Pegasus Kōga: Typical Shōnen Jump protagonist. Compassionate, strong-willed, friendly,…

The original Saint Seya happens to be amongst the first fighting shounen ever made in the mid 80’s and even the one who established the formula of the genre. Even Dragonball took pointers from it. Along the years the franchise was kept alive through numerous non-canon follow-ups, the major ones being a sequel series between 2003 and 2008, and a prequel in 2009. The thing is, most of the original fanbase either grew over it or went for newer and fancier shounen; it is by no means a franchise with tens of thousands of followers anymore. The reason being its formula remaining quite narrow and after a point had become too simple and repetitive compared to later fighting shounen. So it must be made clear that it is a franchise maintained mostly for nostalgia rather than sales or marketing. The…

Disclaimer: This anime was my introduction into, and probably the extent of my involvement with, the franchise.
✪ Genre: action (gunfights, swordplay), adventure, drama, contemporary fantasy, shounen, superpower
✔ Positive Aspects ✔
◧ The animation of the anime is the only positive aspect of this series that I could name. Specifically, we witnessed fairly distinct characters using different kinds of bodysuits, majestic structures left and right, in combination with colors that were highly saturated and very vibrant, easily capturing and retaining the viewers' attention. ✘ Negative Aspects ✘
◧ When I am embarking on a new shounen anime journey, I do expect to stumble across some cliches (the protagonist's legendary bravado which is wholly predicated upon his selfless, borderline masoc…

ENGLISH REVIEW AFTER PORTUGUESE
Bom, Saint Seiya não é um anime muito bom! Mas ele foi um clássico marcante para os antigos.
Saint Seiya Ômega comete muitos erros de seu antecessor, entre eles estão:
- Haruto: A ideia de criar um cavaleiro ninja, não é ruim, só que ele foi mal produzido. Haruto! Exatamente como você leu! Ele te lembra algum nome? Claro que lembra, Naruto! E de ninja o que eu vi nele foi o mais clichê possível.
- Repetimento De Ataques: Saint Seiya sempre teve isso, mas de tanto ver isso acabamos relevando. Mas quando a luta se baseia em uso de poderes! SE PREPAREM PARA UMA CHUVA DE HATE!
- Elementos: Por que colocar elementos, se vão ser apenas: Fogo, Aguá, Terra, Vento, Luz e Trevas! O Hyoga e o Shun entra aonde nessa história???? Desnecessário!
- Armaduras: Muit…

Omega, how much worse could happen in Saint Seiya. Even if yes, in fact (as a quality) it is not the only one.
Started during a general recovery of the spin-offs, mainly because there were the classic protagonists (now adults, being 25 years in the future) and, as always, some gold saints. It was better I hadn't done it, and trust me, if you're a fan of SS, it's a series you can very well avoid. And when even the Gold Saints suck (not all, but more than half yes), it's already a signal.
If the original series had crude and violent, sometimes tragic aspects, Omega can be considered a "censored version", adapted for younger children, putting childish elements or clichés in it from other series, such as schools, elemental powers, powers of friendship, etc ... with the usual "original" next…

If you're a true fan of Saint Seiya ... maybe you must not see this anime...
This anime starts with a short battle between Seiya, the new Sagitarius Saint and Mars and when you hope to see the new power of the Saint they make a cut and put Kouga... the most stupid Saint in all the franchise.
All scenes with Kouga in the screen are unbearable. Kouga pass all the time talking about save Athena that's not bad if you do not looks like his lover...
It's okay if they want a new Pegasus Saint... but the character itself is hateful. Talking about the pegasus saint... the Cloth it's like latex or something like that. Do not look like metal... they look like cloth, like cotton or silk.
The plot is not better... in special the "Tournament Part" or the part of the Zodiac Temples...
The "Zodiac Templ…
